Hotel LeVeque: Art Deco 1927 sky palace in LeVeque Tower with The Keep Kitchen & Liquor Bar, star-gazing amenities, and river vistas

Soaring with iconic 1927 Art Deco terracotta grandeur 47 stories above the Scioto Mile riverfront in downtown Columbus, Ohio, United States (just steps from the Palace Theatre, Ohio Theatre, and Scioto Mile promenade, 15 minutes from John Glenn Columbus International Airport), Hotel LeVeque, Autograph Collection opened within the historic LeVeque Tower as the Midwest’s premier luxury architectural sky palace. Originally constructed in 1927 as the American Insurance Union Citadel (once the fifth tallest building in the world and designed to serve as an aerial lighthouse with its illuminated spire), the 149-room luxury haven is themed around celestial stargazing, constellations, and gilded 1920s glamour. Featuring the acclaimed French brasserie The Keep Kitchen & Liquor Bar, an in-room astronomical star-projector experience in every suite, and state-of-the-art fitness suites, this property is Columbus’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Roaring Twenties architectural majesty and celestial splendour: liveried doormen greet guests beneath the monumental bas-relief bronze doors on Broad Street before entering the soaring marble lobby with gilded sunburst medallions, astronomical chandeliers, and chilled sparkling cider with warm buckeye chocolates. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Columbus cultural, dramatic, and riverfront pursuits: walking next door to attend Broadway shows and orchestral performances at the historic Palace and Ohio Theatres (steps away), strolling the 175-acre parklands and fountains along the Scioto Mile (steps away), private guided tours of the Columbus Museum of Art and Short North Arts District (5 minutes away), turning on your room’s ambient celestial star projector to illuminate the ceiling with constellations, indulging in lavender and herbal in-suite therapies, enjoying craft Prohibition cocktails at The Keep Bar, and reserving dinner at The Keep.

Palace living balances active Midwest cultural discovery with serene celestial wellness: The In-Suite Wellness Retreat features private luxury massage treatments, aromatherapy, and 24-hour fitness facilities equipped with Peloton bikes. Dining is an extraordinary French-American culinary summit: modern French brasserie gastronomy at The Keep Kitchen (featuring steak frites, duck breast, and international Grand Crus), craft cocktails and bourbon flights at The Keep Liquor Bar, artisanal breakfasts, and in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 149 rooms and luxury executive suites styled in midnight velvet, brushed brass, and soaring historic windows framing the Scioto River or Columbus skyline ranging from 32 to 120 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, in-room star projectors, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom amenities.
